Not likely. The Dwave machine is based on setting up the state machines (the equivalent of programming the thing) and then cooling the equipment to cryogenic temperatures. It doesn't' function at all at room temperature, and it's really hard to change the keys. 8-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
